Exam 3: GI 1-2 Flashcards
What are the 2 parts of the GIT?
Gi Tract
Accessory organs
What are the 6 major functions of the GIT
- Transportation
- Digestion
- Absorption
- water and electrolyte balance
- Immunologic barrier
- Thermoregulation
First act of digestion, involves the actions of the teeth, the jaws, the tongue, and the cheeks
Mastication
Food intake
prehension
What are the 4 functions of the motility of the GI tract?
- propel ingesta
- retain ingesta at given site
- break up food
- circulate ingesta so all contacts sufaces
What is the first motility pattern in the GIT
Deglutition
What are the 2 phases of degllutition?
- voluntary (oral phase)
2. involuntary (swallow reflex)
difficulty swallowing
dysphagia
What are the 2 types of dysphagia?
- oropharyngeal
2. esophageal
What is oropharyngea dysphagia?
malfunction of the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter
What is esophageal dysphagia?
due to malfunction of esophagus
a dysphagia in which food particles/fluids or stomach contents reach the upper airways
Aspiration
Regulatory center for energy homeostasis?
hypothalamus
What part of the hypothalamus is the hunger centers?
- nuclear paraventricularis
- lateral hypothalamus fields
- perifornical region
What part of the hypothalamus is the satiety center
- nuclear ventromedialis
Which hormone inhibits hunger and inc. energy consumption?
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
What two neuropeptiedes stimulates the appetite center?
neuropeptide y (NPY) orexin
What non-hypothalamic hormone stimulates the appetite center?
Ghrelin
What 4 non-hypothalmic hormones inhibit the hunger center?

What are the 2 types of stimulation of saliva secretion.
- innate
2. conditioned
what is innate saliva secretion?
released through contact with bucal mucosa
